While Alice is on the hunt, White Rabbit is busy scheming a way to kidnap her and take her to the dominatrix Queen of Hearts (Koly McBride) while fending off his archrival Nathan, The Knave of Hearts (Fabian Martin, dressed like a fabulous Valentine”s Day pimp).

Shoberg”s script calls for plenty of lewd behavior on stage — simulated masturbation, crotch grabbing and a touch of S&M action — making this a very naughty “Alice” unsuitable for children.

Unfortunately, the action never goes beyond sophomoric shock tactics. Every grope and simulated sex act is telegraphed to the point of ineffectiveness.

The cast gives it a go, but no one really lets loose to stand out. Alyce Avenell”s turn as the schizophrenic Mad Hattie is the closest we get to a cast member appearing to have a good time on stage.

The play eventually takes on pedophilia and turns into a full-on creep fest in its final scene, choking any fun out of itself.

Credit director L.j. Brewer for infusing Wonderland with some quality production values. The company knows how to utilize its small space.

While the pace was choppy for opening night, the presentation overall was stellar.

Set design was key. Brewer and his team of Matt Hanner and Avenell do some interesting things with plywood panel facades and old doll parts.

McBride”s costume design, with lots of kinky get-ups and pleather, also deserves a nod.

But those technical highlights can”t save the play. Most of this falls back onto Shoberg, who has infested this “Wonderland” with so many dirtbags that the story runs dry.

The playwright spent too much time trying to correlate Carroll”s original with modern taboo.

This “Wonderland” could have been a beautiful nightmare. Instead, it”s as cold and dreary as a big city back alley.
